The original Castlevania show, which ran before the release of Castlevania: Nocturne season 2, ran for four seasons. In the show, Dracula was the main antagonist of the first two seasons and his arc came to a natural conclusion as well. However, he still maintained a presence at least thematically throughout the series.

Castlevania: Nocturne season 2 is set for release on January 16 on Netflix. We expect it will launch at midnight Pacific/3:00 AM Eastern. Those in the UK with an aversion to the dark will be pleased to know that's 8:00 AM GMT. For other regions, use the time zone converter.

Castlevania: Nocturne returns to Netflix with a larger than life second season where Richter Belmont teams up with Alucard to battle the forces of evil.

If you've been following Netflix's animated Castlevania series, here's your reminder that the second season of Castlevania: Nocturne is out this week on 16th January 2025.

Nocturne sees Alucard join Richter Belmont and his allies in a battle to protect Paris from the Vampire Messiah.

Castlevania: Nocturne quickly cemented itself as one of the more phenomenal video game adaptations, and this new season makes clear that season 1 was in no way a fluke. A smidge of the surprise is gone, but it continues to play to its already impressive strengths well, and Netflix would be foolish not to bring it back for more.

Castlevania: Nocturne remains just as thrilling in season 2 with the kind of innovative fight sequences that live-action cinema can only dream of. The show's signature charm is still intact too, although the original Castlevania series remains superior.

Season 2 of Castlevania: Nocturne releases on Netflix on January 16. The new season will run for eight episodes, and all eight will drop at once on Netflix on the premiere date.

And they got it, because in the fall of 2023, the first season of Castlevania: Nocturne premiered. This time, the series was set in the late 18th century and followed Richter Belmont (who made his debut in 1993's Castlevania: Rondo of Blood).

Castlevania Nocturne Season 2 is finally here. Where Castlevania was a story about broken adults reforging bonds that had been severed and healing from an increasingly evil world, Castlevania: Nocturne is a coming-of-age story.
